Chapter 422: Let Me Do It With You
After the software was installed, Crystal cleared all traces of surfing the Internet.
Then she turned to make Nathan’s bed and took the sheets off. When she changed the pillowcase, she found two bumps inside the pillow. When she pulled it out, she found two cloth dolls. There were black and white stripes on the man’s neck and a small black bow tie, and the other one was striped in various colors and wore a corkscrew crown on her head.
The bathroom door opened. A dense mist diffused from the inside. Nathan came out in a white bathrobe, his beard shaved and his face washed.
He was not as decadent and untidy as before, and he was clean.
Only his eyes were still bloodshot because of alcohol.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Crystal straightened up, holding both cloth dolls, and explained. “They fell out when I was changing your pillowcase.”
Nathan’s face suddenly changed, and his brow tightened.
Crystal asked tentatively. “Why are you so nervous? You didn’t make this yourself, did you?”
Nathan’s face grew colder. “Put it down!” he snapped.
“I didn’t think you could do all this sewing. Besides, you did a good job.”
“I told you to put you down!”
“Why are you so angry?”
Why was his reaction so strong? Intuition told her that there must be a secret inside the two dolls that he didn’t want to tell.
“I tell you to put it down. Don’t you understand?”
The more he did this, the more skeptical Crystal became. Besides, he was only a paper tiger now in her eyes.
Crystal pressed the doll’s body down.
Nathan’s voice comes out dramatically.
“There is always someone in a man’s life who has broken his principles, changed his liking, and become his irreplaceable presence. Crystal, I know it’s unwise to love someone with all your heart, but that’s the only way I know how. I know the stitch is clumsy. But do you like it?”
Was this for her?
Crystal pressed her lips. “Did you make this for me? I love it.”
The next second, a big hand pulled the doll out of her hand. Crystal saw that Nathan’s face was dark.
“Don’t touch my stuff.” Without a trace of emotion, he continued, “Didn’t Miss Smith say that we should respect other people’s privacy?”
“But it’s for me.”
“I didn’t say that.”
“You said it on the tape. You asked me if I liked it. Well, I do, very much,” she said brazenly.
Nathan twitched his jaw. “I just asked you if you liked it,” he said. “I didn’t say it was for you.”
“Nathan, you definitely want to give it to me.”
Nathan, irritated, tossed the dolls into the trash bin.
Crystal’s heart, too, seemed to have been thrown in.
Pale as a sheet, she tried to pick it up, but a tremendous tug pulled the back of her hand.
Nathan snarled, glaring at her. ‘Don’t pick it up!
“How long are you going to keep this up?” Crystal put her arms around him, her eyes wet with tears. “Do you know how much my heart aches when you treat me like this?”
Nathan sneered. “How much does it hurt?”
“The big tree in the heart has been uprooted. You tell me how much it hurts.”
Nathan froze.
The water drops of his wet hair fell on her face.
She raised her face and stroked his profile.
“The stitches are clumsy, but they’re for me. I really like them.”
With that, she rose on tiptoe, trembling, trying to kiss him.
His face slid away. Her lips brushed his face, and he finally kissed the cold air.
Crystal smiled wryly and said, “I ignored your pain before, but now I want to taste it all.”
Nathan gave Adam’s apple a hard roll.
Crystal broke out of his arms, went to the trash can, and picked up the dolls.
Fortunately, the servant just cleaned the house. A new bag replaced the trash can. It was very clean.
Crystal dusted the dust off the dolls.
Nathan’s lips moved, and eventually, he didn’t say anything. He turned his face looking out of his window, his fists clasped tightly and his veins protruding faintly. He should send her directly out or leave immediately from here, preferably never seeing her.
The longer she stayed, the less he could bear to separate her.
But his feet couldn’t move. Nathan felt like there was a huge mountain on his chest and couldn’t say a word.
Crystal went over and took him by the hand. “Be sure to dry your hair after washing, or you’ll get a headache when you get old,” she said.
Nathan ignored her.
“Shall I blow-dry your hair?”
She took his hand and motioned him to sit at the dresser, Nathan’s sharp eyes fixed on her.
Crystal had red eyes. From the moment he saw her, he knew how badly she was crying.
The knife wound in her neck made him want to kiss her fondly.
His eyes were getting redder.
“Come on, let me blow your hair. I just want to do something for you.” His gaze fluttered Crystal.
“And will you then get out of here at once?”
Crystal took a breath and finally avoided his question. “No. Come on, sit over.” The room suddenly became very quiet. Crystal looked at Nathan in the mirror, looked at him carefully, and asked, “You seem to like this hairstyle best, don’t you?”
“I just realized I don’t know anything about you.” Crystal added, “Your favorite color, your height, your weight. I don’t think I’ve ever asked you that.”
Nathan stared coldly at Crystal in the mirror.
She fingered his hair with one hand, shook the air blower with the other, and though she smiled, there was a heavy sadness on her face.
“I don’t know.”
“And what if I want to know?”
“Crystal!” He growled in disgust, “What’s the point of knowing all this now?”
What was the point?
Crystal’s fingers were white, and her eyes were shining with tears as if she could not help crying at any moment.
“I just want to know everything about the man I love the most. I want to know everything about him,” Crystal’s nose began to jam. “I know it’s too late to say that now.”
The hairdryer blew hot air into the air.
Her heart was also burning. “No one can ignore the past and start a new beginning, but anyone can start from this moment and make a different way and make a different ending. Nathan, shall we start again?”
“No,” he said coldly, “I’ve given you a thousand chances, and you won’t get another.”
“It doesn’t matter. Chances are always there for the person who goes for it.” Crystal said doggedly.” I’ll show you my sincerity.”
Nathan darkened his eyes and unconsciously turned the ring on his hand.
It was as if his heart had been chipped.
He had never been so helpless with a woman.
Crystal basted his hair and pulled open the dresser to help him pick out the clothes and tie for the door.
Nathan’s eyes deepened as he watched the little woman move around for him.
He knew she wanted him to go to the hospital.
Crystal buttoned his shirt for him. “Nathan, what’s your wish?” she asked.
It was definitely the most talkative day in history, and he was the opposite silent.
“Let me do it with you?”
She tried hard to motivate him to live.
